Abstract
Regenerative surgery (RS) may be functionally defined as: the application of regenerative material and techniques such as live cells or cell-derived material with surgical methods to affect clinical therapy for disease or restore normal human function. A global review of RS as it relates to formal residency and fellowship medical education programs is provided in addition to the current state of post-graduate medical education. Due to the complex nature of starting materials (i.e. live cells or derived biologics), invariably ancillary staff versant in high complexity laboratory techniques will be required to support these novel clinical lines of service in the RS industry. Theoretical implications on both the development, training and credentialing of these unique professionals are preliminarily addressed. Although the current state of RS medical education has taken a predominantly conference and post-graduate approach across multiple surgical specialties, most new fields of surgery have developed under similar principles historically and should not be interpreted entirely as illegitimate or inappropriate.
